Want your Mac or Apple setup featured on OSXDaily? Go here to get started! We share many workstations, but tend to prefer the longer form Q&A format, so do take a moment to answer some questions about the hardware and software and how you use your setup, take a few high quality pictures, and send it on in!

You can also browse through other Mac setups if you like to check out other workstations, how people use their Apple gear, or just want some inspiration for your own setup.

Honestly, just skimming through and landing on the list . . . I was honestly surprised and immediately transformed my perspective, when I saw… “Clean My Mac 3” … and “Toast”. …granted Photoshop and good on ya with Motion, but no After Effects? Really? . . .
Just glad to see FCPX on the list :). But . . . honestly . . . Clean My Mac? Really? Why? Just Curious. And open to actual validity.
Open,
Andy
